Good afternoon and welcome to Hotspur Way where Mauricio Pochettino is speaking to the press ahead of Tottenham's weekend clash against Stoke City.

The Spurs boss will be in buoyant mood after the impressive 3-1 win against Chelsea last time out.

Goals from Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen sealed a first win at Stamford Bridge in 28 years, and sent Spurs eight points clear of their London rivals.

Next up, Tottenham travel to Stoke, who remain in deep relegation trouble after their 3-0 humbling at Arsenal.

Pochettino's side have a good record at the Britannia Stadium, but will be wary of the hosts' desperation for a result, with Paul Lambert's men sitting in 19th and three points from safety.

Harry Kane returned from injury with an appearance from the substitutes bench last weekend, but could be in line to start on Saturday as he chases down Mohamed Salah for the Golden Boot.

Stay with us as we bring you every word from Pochettino's press conference.

Poch on his own contract talks with Daniel Levy

We are always in contact with him but it is still three year contract. I have three year more after this season. Today we are so focused on trying to achieve all that the club want to achieve. I think it is not important, my situation today.

It is up to him or the club to have contact with me if they are happy with my job to offer or not. But personally I am happy and still have three years on my contract, but of course it is his decision and the club’s decision to open discussion or not.

Poch on Daniel Levy's £6m payment

First of all, I think it’s very good news for the club, for the company it was a record for the club and was very positive news for Tottenham. Then, it’s not my point to talk. I don’t know the reality. In the end he is my boss and I need to respect everything that my boss made and do.

Poch on the feel-good factor this week

I think it was fantastic in the moment that we achieved the victory and we celebrated of course. But then the day after we all disappear and then you focus on the game against Stoke. That is going to be a very tough game. The key will be to be focused and prepare for a big battle, they play to survive. Always it’s good to win, this was a derby and it means a lot to our fans after 28 years to feel again the victory at Stamford Bridge. It was fantastic for everyone. But like a manager, and the coaching staff and a player, there’s not too much time to spend enjoying the victory. That is very dangerous. If you spend too much time enjoying it, you’re not preparing for the next game and when you arrive at the next game you need to be ready.

Is 40 goals a realistic target?

I don’t know, I don’t know. Maybe he can feel better if it’s possible or not. But when we talk about this type of player like Harry Kane, all is possible in football.

Poch on Kane's fitness and trying to score 40 goals

He’s ok after playing nearly 20 minutes against Chelsea. This week was good, working hard. Yes, he’s going to arrive, ok we need to see him one training session more today after the press conference. He’s doing very good and of course the expectation is to score goals and you know him, he’s so determined to help the team to achieve all that they want. Of course, he’s hungry to score.
